    Oh gosh, I just thought of this.

    The other day I was biking on my mountain bike and towing DS in the burley trailer. We were approaching a hill, my favorite hill. It's the last one on the way home. About 300 feet from the base, a roadie went flying past us. I put my head down and hammered on the pedals to pick up momentum going into the hill. I didn't look up until we reached the top. . . . and guess what!?!? I was right on Mr. Roadie's wheel!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I didn't even think that was possible. I will forever have the astonished look on his face when he looked back and saw me right there.

    I have like 25 personal days to use up. I'm taking today as a vacation day. So there may be a LOT of posting from me today

    Limewave those were two GREAT posts of things to have made your day. Congrats on all of them.

    One of my relatives has been on radiation therapy for the last 6 weeks and they are finished. That news made my day!

    Went for a ride this morning with my OH - that in itself was enough to make my day, our older niece is staying with us just now so we were able to head out without kids, a rare treat! But even better, the time I've been spending on my bike has obviously helped as he was struggling and I found it just a nice steady ride to stretch my legs and start the day. I'm overweight and he's not, so it's always a boost to realize that my fitness level is better than his

    It's kind of gross because she's a dog, but after my ride this morning my four month old Basset, MudFlap, jumped in the bathtub with me. I had already showered off but wanted to soak for a few and the little stinker came up to the side of the tub and jackrabbited her droopy-eared behind right in my bath water. Good Lord, I love that dog. She can't even jump on the sofa yet but she managed to get in my tub. Hahahahaha

    I made the best of the situation and gave her a good scrubbing so she will smell nice for beer night at our favorite bar.

    Some teenager said hey baby to me when I was walking my dog. It's funny on 2 counts because he'd be embarrassed if he knew I was old enough to be his mother, and that maybe he was more interested in my dog? A very handsome dog at that.

    My husband. I was single and fiercely independent for so long, that it's taken me a while to get used to the idea that there's this person in my life. Who loves and supports me. A lot.

    I spent the better part of Monday having some medical tests done. Because I didn't really need DH to go with me, I had to convince myself that it was okay to want him there for support (what a novel idea, huh?). My tests in total didn't actually take that long, so we otherwise just got to spend some quality time together.

    It was a lovely day.

    So I work in a pediatric hospital and do pain management. I was consulted for a family for a child still with post-op pain and not well controlled. I really minimally tweaked the medication regimen but she has had a much better day. I think really most was attitude and timing for her, but they think I did something special. Glad they all had a better day! And makes me feel a bit like I do make a difference (somedays at work we don't feel that way!)

    This is me to a T, Indy. I'm trying very hard in my current relationship but it is sometimes hard to want to have someone there for you when for a long time you've relied on yourself and done just fine. Have any secrets for getting to that point?
